[HD2 Android SD Development] Pop45398:
New Version

I've uploaded a new version (v2.3.2). It corrects an oversight on my part. When "Enable Builds" was selected, if RunDroid had renamed a folder to Android it was renamed to Android[1]. In v2.3.2, when "Enable Builds" is selected, if a folder has been renamed to Android it will now be renamed back to original instead of Android[1].

All credit and kudos for this change go to crazycranky!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mccmjoon76:
Thanks for continue dev the great work :D will try it out ;)
[Captivate General] scooterjes:
I wonder if the folks at Samsung ever download the unofficial roms that are made here to "borrow" fixes ideas etc I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Has anybody noticed the fixes done in the custom roms magically appear in official releases.
[Captivate General] ryude:
Where do you think Google gets their fixes from...
[Captivate General] supermercado321:
Not to my knowledge... Samsung is pretty slow in any development for their phones
[Captivate General] bigbooty:
I bet they do. Though they don't seem to learn anything from it.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
No but it looks like they finally took the smart route. Starting to push out updates so the awesome developers on XDA and elsewhere can make them run they way they should.

Let's see how long it'll be till the i9000 has a workable Gingerbread rom.
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
Still diggin my launch day evo after all this time. Support on XDA is outstanding... so many options available...running MIUI atm.

I was thinking about a dell streak before the EVO, but it was always second fiddle because I'm an HTC fan. Anyways, curious, why was the dell streak a flop?

Also, anyone know a good site to see sales numbers for the various phones? Thanks
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
My guess is because of the 5 inch screen it was launched with. To small for a tablet to big for a phone.
[EVO 4G General] SFG:
and it was made by Dell
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
This big time, I actually got to fool around with one in Best Buy and that phone just to big for a cell phone. Its actually quite laggy and cumbersome IMHO, the display would be great for a pocket tv but that's about it. Even though it runs Android, its user interface is strange and not very straight forward.

This as well.
[EVO 4G General] courtlandre:
I had a Dell Streak when I lived in the UK and it was great. I much prefer it over my Evo, but since I'm on sprint I cant really use the streak. Screen is absolutely massive, but the phone is tapered on the sides and really thin so it fit well in my pocket.

I think the streak "flopped" because there wasnt really any advertising and At&t charged a crazy high price when it first came out (300 with a new contract).
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
A guy at work has one. I remember when I first heard of the HD2 and Evo after owning 3.7" screens (or smaller) for years, I thought the 4.3" screen would be way too big. Of course, here I am, and I can't imagine going smaller than 4.3" ever again. So when I heard about the Streak, at first I thought 5" would be way too big too. But then I thought maybe it'd be like the Evo, and you'd get used to it.

Now that I've seen one, I can say no, it really is too big. 4.3" is the sweet spot. Maybe 4.5", but anything above that and it loses pocketability and usefulness as a phone. But at 5", as others have said, it's too small to be a viable tablet. Even the 7" tablets seem too small to me when I carry 4.3" in my pocket.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I think this is one thing apple got right ;) imho a tablet needs to be at least 10"

even 7" isn't really enough.
[EVO 4G General] wrb123:
they were way ahead of their time with the dell axim! wish i still had mine to play around with. awesome touchscreen mini tablet device, just needed to add a mobile radio :)
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I messed around with it ... it was kinda laggy but most display phones I play with are, too many hands messing up things.

There is no way I could ever get used to a 5" screen on a phone.. I like the EVO 4.3" screen, any bigger will be too much.

I too thought I might be able to adjust like I first did with the EVO.. but after handling one... no freakin way.
[EVO 4G General] jefbal99:
I thought it was because of the 1.6 OS that debuted on it when 2.1/2.2 was the standard...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] virajss:
I found this amazing boot animation on www.wjddesigns.com and some other forums and I modified it for my G1 device.

I have not created the animations, I just modify them as per my choice.

Thought of sharing this on this forum.

Instructions:

** Please take a nand backup - I am not responsible for any goof ups.

a. Copy bootanimation.zip on root of your sdcard

b. Go to Terminal Emulator

c. Type following commands: (Press enter after each line)

su

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

reboot

*****

P.S: When you copy bootanimation1.zip or bootanimationhc.zip to your SDCard, you will have to rename them to bootanimation.zip before you start copy.

*****

It is working on my G1 phone running Ginger Yoshi RC5.1.

Hope you like it.

[Atrix 4G General] quixin:
I'm coming from the Captivate which had these two great apps (Memo and Voice Recorder) that Motorola didn't include equivalents for on the Atrix. I have no doubt that alternatives are available in the Market. However, I didn't find anything I was as pleased with as the Samsung versions.

If possible, what would be the procedure for extracting these apps from the Captivate and installing on the Atrix.

Titanium Backup didn't do this for me - unless I'm doing it incorrectly.

Additionally, I much prefer the Contacts app on the Captivate but I'm guessing that is a pipe dream.

Thanks for the help.
[Atrix 4G General] quixin:
I've attempted to copy Memo.apk and Memo.odex from the Captivate to the Atrix /system/app folder via Root Explorer. Set permissions (rw-r--r--) and performed a reboot.

Nothing shows up in the app folder on the Atrix.

Has anyone else performed something similar with successful results?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Bedeadu:
Hopefully you will get a more educated answer then mine, or at least confirmation if I am correct or not.

I believe the issue is that any apps that came with the Captivate are dependant on the Captivate/Samsung kernel. They would require certain files, incl. lib files that you won't have on your Atrix. This is why custom manufacturer apps can't be carried over to other devices, unless they get more broken down/hacked.

Is ebay the only current way to buy a xoom without having to sign a contract and cancel it?
[Xoom General] onehitter:
I got mine at Best Buy and I bought it without any contract at all. I had nothing to cancel, still paid the $799.00 plus tax.

They said that they got an email from Verizon authorizing them to sell it without any contract.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
800$ at best buy (with wifi unlocked) as previously mentioned.

If you are interested in still having 3g without the contract, you will have to take it into Verizon after your purchase (you may be able to just do this at Best Buy) to activate your device on their network. You can't activate it right off the device like the iPad.

Here is the plan you are looking at (without signing a contract)

20$=1gig/mo 35$=3gig/mo 50$=5 gigs/mo or 80$=10 gigs/mo

The plan you'll be choosing is called month to month, and although you will not sign a contract, they will still run a credit check, so if you have bad credit, you will need to pay a security deposit. If you don't, you will not pay anything at the time of activation because it's not a prepayed plan (Verizon only has prepaid plans available for smart phones). You will pay your bill at the end of the month, and if you go over your allotted data, you will be charged 10$/gig (I'm pretty sure about that one, but you might want to ask). Also, you're first bill will come with surcharges and activation fees that will equal up to 65$ plus the price of the plan you choose.

Canceling your month to month plan will not charge anything, however getting it reassigned will cost an additional 15$
[Xoom General] Legacy2385:
i got mine at vzw and motorola without having to sign a contract
[Xoom General] djsaad1:
good to know about best buy. Thanks!
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
I got mine @ Costco with no contract (90 days to return with no restocking charge!)
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
You can buy direct from Moto and most likely avoid taxes, and get a free case and free 2 day shipping.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
Moto site taxed me. Pennsylvania
[Xoom General] tlogank:
False, they do tax everyone.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Free case offer has ended on the Motorola site.
[Xoom General] aelole:
What u mean wifi unlocked? Does it mean that if I buy the tablet from moto site it comes with locked wifi?
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
Oops. Stand corrected on both counts. Can you get it anywhere tax free? Amazon?
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
If I'm not mistaken Motorola has to charge state tax everywhere they have a physical shop. Since there's nothing like a "motorola store" maybe it's linked to Verizon? And they seem to be present in all states :( I had to pay MD state tax b/c I couldn't find the motorola shop directly on amazon or else I'd done that!
[Xoom General] djsaad1:
Wife wants me to wait for the wifi only version, at least there is one rational person in the family. Hopefully it will be out soon.
[Xoom General] outbackpaul:
I'm trying real hard to wait for this one too. Any word on when?
[Xoom General] labbbby:
No word anywhere yet... All we got is Sanjay Jha saying it will be priced at/around 600$...
[Xoom General] shadowclock:
Don't try getting the Costco 90 day returnable Xoom without the month to month contract. They apparently are still on the policy requiring you to sign up (with credit check) before you can purchase through them.

I went around that whole thing including talking to the manager at Costco and the Regional Manager of the kiosk telling them they are the only ones following that old policy.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I was the first one to buy at my local Costco on launch day and was told the same thing. I kept forcing the Verizon kiosk guy to keep calling people until someone finally told him that it is no longer required.
[Xoom General] shadowclock:
I've decided to call their headquarters and get it handled that way....maybe if I complain and tell them what I went through I could get it cheaper :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] product26:
My nexus one (purchased used) has never recorded audio when recording a video. I stumbled across a post where someone had squeezed near the mic and fixed the issue. I discovered exactly what was going on. After squeezing the area around the mic while recording I determined that I may need to disassemble the phone to correct the issue. After looking at the teardown on ifixit.com I saw that the mic is held in by a connector that can be seen through a slot in the back black plastic under the battery cover. I folded over a post-it note pushed it in to the slot and CLICK, the connector snapped back in to place. I also left a little post-it note piece in to the slot to keep it in place. See the attached photo for details.

Please share this with others on other forums if you have seen other threads with this issue. I hope it helps others!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobassman:
Hi

it s exactly the same for me ....dictaphone works ...all mp3 works but my own videos are as in 1900's : without sound !!!!

i tried (after laughing a lot about your helpful post) with a piece of post it note but it doesn t work still .

i know how i probably broke it : sometimes bootloader was frozen so i had to take off the battery with some hurts (as a torch which doesn t work so u hurt the bottom of it to make the light get back) i m stupid because i should have used a little tool to take the battery off ...

i m trying to install a old stock ROM ..maybe????

thanks to U for this solution ...

[General Questions and Answers] izua:
Hello.

I'm having an issue browsing the web (:80 connections) with any browser (tried so far stock, dolphin, galapagos, miren), except opera mobile, while connected to the mobile network. The issue goes away when connected via WiFi. I believe the reason why opera works is because they use an intermediate caching server on all the mobile browsers, which probably uses compression and a non-standard port.

If I try other types of connections, for example ssh or irc, it works. Google maps, various games requiring online activity, twitter, album art downloading, aldiko online library also work.

If I configure the phone to act as a router (with the internet connection through the mobile network), I can connect with my laptop and other wifi devices to the internet and browse the web, and initiate any sort of :80 connections, but I'm still not able to do it from the phone.

I have even tried connecting over :80 with connect cat (netcat like utility) and sending GET requests. It works. So apparently, only the actual browsers don't work.

I'm on a htc desire bought from vodafone romania, with a vanilla kernel (stock android 2.2).

Not really sure what to do, #android on freenode told me to ask here.

Hi,

I have normal HD2 with WP7 and Android.

So, my issue is that WiFi doesn't work. It works fine on WP7, but not on Android. When I try put wifi on, it enables it but shows error (just error) and disables it. I've tried those "WiFi Fixes" from Market, but not helping. It used to work before I upgraded to WP7 (Still using same Android build). Only difference between current android and one before WP7 is that my current one has rootfs for MAGLRD. So is there any way to fix it?

And like I said, it works on WP7.

It was a stuggle to get autonooter and than cwm(but I did). ...Anyways that 4gb microSD is broken. I tried using Winimage again to burn my orther Sandisk microSD's for cwm128mb.img too...but no luck. I have tried on Desktop and laptop. I have tried this 8gb microsd and 16gb that keep giving me an error as well. Yes i "run it as admin on Win 7 and both microSds are partitioned to FAT32.

So my Trigger thread has been hijacked by Avatar lovers. However, some good did come out of it and I think I've figured out the fix thanks to Raymond & Rory. Or I combined their fixes LOL

Here's what I did:

Clear DRM Protected Content Storage cache

Clear Video Player cache

Reboot

Try and play the movie through Video player, press Unlock

Reboot

At this point you should be able to play the movie through Video player

Place attached Avatar.apk in /system/app

Set permissions to rw-r--r--

Now I am able to play my avatar movie. Note: it's located on my external SD card

For people setting permissions in Root Explorer, it looks like this:

User: Read Write
Group: Read
Others: Read

Report back with results!

I kinda started this mess. I may have forgotten a last step but I can't remember. I may have restored data for the Video player with Titanium after deleting the cache. My thinking was the flash caused it not to play for some reason, so I deleted the cache. Then I believe I did a Titanium restore of the data because it played before I flashed and restoring that data should help. I did it late at night and went to bed before posting. I'm sure about the part I did in the paragraph above, it's what I'm telling you now that's fuzzy. Sorry I'm such an airhead right now, but I did get mine working fine.:)
